Non-Markovian effect on quantum Otto engine: Role of system-reservoir interaction

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2021
We study a limit cycle of a quantum Otto engine whose every cycle consists of two finite-time quantum isochoric (heating or cooling) processes and two quantum adiabatic work-extracting processes. Considering a two-level system as a working substance that

Enhanced optical trapping assisted by resonant energy backflow in a perforated dielectric microsphere

open access: yes, 2022
Optical energy flow inside a dielectric microsphere exposed to an optical wave is usually codirected with its wave vector. At the same time, if the optical field in a microparticle is in resonance with a high-quality spatial eigenmode, referred to as the whispering-gallery mode (WGM), at least two regions of reverse energy flow emerge in the ...

Thermoresponsive Liquid Crystalline Polymer Coatings Programmed by Field‐Induced Topological Defects for Tunable Optical and Topographical Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Resonant standing waves generate large‐area lattices of liquid‐crystal topological defects that are permanently encoded into polymer coatings by photopolymerization. The preserved director architecture produces thermally reconfigurable surface topographies while maintaining programmable optical functionality, demonstrating a scalable strategy for ...

A Collaborative Modulation Method of Dual-Side Backflow Power Optimization and Zero-Voltage Switching for Dual Active Bridge

open access: yesEnergies
Dual active bridge (DAB) converters are widely used in DC microgrids because of their superior bidirectional energy flow regulation capability and characteristics, such as wide voltage gain and zero-voltage switching (ZVS).

Irreversible work and Maxwell demon in terms of quantum thermodynamic force

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The second law of classical equilibrium thermodynamics, based on the positivity of entropy production, asserts that any process occurs only in a direction that some information may be lost (flow out of the system) due to the irreversibility inside the ...

Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Generation of on-axis energy backflow via superoscillation focusing

open access: yesOptics Express
On-axis energy backflow has recently been discovered in the focal fields of various light beams with phase or polarization singularities. However, although an azimuthally polarized beam superimposed with the first-order vortex phase satisfies the general conditions for achieving on-axis energy backflow, it is found to be difficult to induce this ...

Ion energy diagnostics in the plume of an SPT-100 from thrust axis to backflow region [PDF]

open access: yes34th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1998
Of primary concern with the integration of Hall thrusters on conventional satellite designs is the possible damaging effect of high-energy exhaust ions impinging upon spacecraft surfaces. This paper reports on measurements of plasma ion energy distributions within the plume of an SPT-100 Hall thruster using a custom-designed molecular beam mass ...
